Bursak beams at you drunkenly, and motions to the other chairs at his table. "Sit. You'll not likely find another table with any space, and I'm enjoying one of my few days off by enjoying some crabs and getting gloriously drunk! Join me."
Myrta hurriedly grabs a chair and sits, placing a platinum coin on a passing tray and grabbing a crab with a body about a foot in diameter off the tray and a severe looking device off the table that she uses to crack, saw, and pick the meat out of the shell. As your drinks arrive (including a refill for Bursak) Myrta expounds upon the history, biology, life cycle, and general tastiness of the Crawling White Crab.
"Crab day is just a day when Huckabees has the good fortune to get in a shipment of Crawlin' white hatchlin's. It only happens once, maybe twice a year if we're lucky. Crawlin' Whites are only found in a few spots in the Crawlin' Swamp, places where Lamannia, the plane of nature has an especially strong connection. These are the only places the crabs can breed, and only when Lamannia is at its strongest thank providence! Otherwise we'd be food for them rather than them being food for us. They grow to be quite large very quickly, and are only fit for food if eaten within a few days of hatchin' while they're still a pinkish color. Once they turn white thier shells get much harder and they taste rancid.
The Daelkyr are said to have twisted some of them into truly horrific beasts during the Daelkyr War, but they're bad enough as nature made them. When they hatch thousands of them scurry everywhere, but thankfully they're tasty to just about every predator in the world, so not many of them live past the first few days.
Huckabee has good relations with a few of the tribes near the places they breed, and buys all they will sell him. Then for 10 gold a head, It's a huge party, with all the crab you can eat, and all you can drink to boot. Since you're stayin' here you won't even be charged since the kitchen won't offer any other food for the day. All of the cooks will be steaming crabs all day. There are actually folks who live here just so that they don't miss a crab day! Not many, but a few."
